A high-contrast serif with predominantly vertical emphasis and crisp, tapered terminals that read as subtly flared rather than blunt. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to strong main stems, creating a bright, cut-paper texture in larger sizes. Serifs are sharp and clean, with pointed corners and minimal bracketing, while curves show a smooth, controlled modulation. Proportions are compact and tall, with relatively narrow letterforms and a prominent x-height that keeps lowercase shapes assertive. Figures follow the same contrasty construction, and overall spacing looks tight and disciplined, producing a dense, polished rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and short-text settings such as magazine headlines, fashion branding, pull quotes, and poster titles where the contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It can also work for elegant editorial subheads, especially with comfortable leading and careful reproduction.
The tone is poised and upscale, with an editorial sophistication reminiscent of fashion and luxury typography. Its sharp contrast and clean detailing give it a dramatic, high-end voice that feels confident and modern-classic rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a high-contrast serif optimized for impactful, space-efficient typography. Its flared, tapered endings and crisp serifs prioritize sophistication and punch, aiming for a premium editorial presence with strong typographic color.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight rhythm create striking word shapes, especially in uppercase. Very thin hairlines and delicate joins suggest it will look best when given sufficient size or printing resolution, where the refined details can remain intact.
